Lime on a tortilla chip makes sense. It’s Mexican food logic, where lime goes on everything. Squeeze it on tacos, on soup, on fruit, on life. Why not on Doritos?
Zesty Lime is properly limey. Not hint-of-lime subtle, but full citrus brightness that wakes up your palate. There’s salt, obviously, and together the salt-lime combination creates something almost margarita-adjacent.
The corn base works beautifully with lime. Sweet corn, sour citrus, salt tying them together. It’s a combination that feels natural despite being uncommon in British snacking.
The refreshment factor
These taste refreshing. It’s a strange word for a crisp, but accurate. The lime provides brightness that heavier flavours lack. Eating them doesn’t create that mouth-coating heaviness of cheese or meat flavours.
Pair with Mexican food. Pair with tequila if you’re that way inclined. Or eat them alone and appreciate a flavour combination that deserves more attention than it gets.
A sleeper hit in the Doritos range.
